How to spend my money

[TurboFreak]

1988 White Hardtop 5-speed N/A
Has minor dents in the front fenders, major dent in drivers door. Clean title. Pretty much no rust anywhere.

I can't decide what to do with it so I came up with 3 plans:

Speed - 1jz front clip (no body panels fixed, stock ride height, etc etc, fast)

Looks - JDM Tails, Front lip, bodywork, paint (Still n/a, stock ride height until i can get springs, looks awesome.)

Drift - Coilovers, maybe get a new door, and some type of sick wheels(Still gonna have dents on the fenders, pre-89 tails, probably not color matched drivers door, still n/a) (I know there are other things that would be good for drifting like all the A-1 products and a good diff. but this is to start me off.)

Get a camera and post pics of said car.

This is the Supra you're going to get right?

To be honest, if you're going to be spending that kind of money you have planned to fix it or mod it, just buy a clean car from the start that doesn't need to be repainted or have the body repaired.

 

[TurboFreak]

Not an option Joe. Bought it already.
Also I should specify I HAVE the money in hand to buy the parts I listed.

Damn, can't pick 2.

I's say 1JZ, plus coilovers, then body work.

In that order.

 

[j3pz]

na>t... buy my parts...:sarcasm: whatever you do im sure it will be clean

how about option 1,2,+3

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

Get it painted. Seriously you can live with a really good looking mark 3. Then again my brother did the speed thing with his mismatched color car, and its funny to say the least to walk all over sti's and the likes :biglaugh:

Option #3 - coilovers, diff, wheels, na>t, bodywork in that order.

 

[SupaMan]

if your gonna drift it dont bother with body work its prolly gonna get dented more anyways if your gonna get seriously into it.

 

[gtsfirefighter]

Being the son of a paint and body man, I say make it look good.

 

[james_9876]

I would say go ahead with the 1J clip, get her running good and reliable. No use in making her look good unless she's reliable and worth keeping.

Happy Hunting.

go with speed, its always fun to have not so good looking car thats fast, then to have a great looking car and get out run buy honda civics

 

[BorHor]

Option #3 - coilovers, diff, wheels, na>t, bodywork in that order.

I like that order. ahah maybe wheels before diff. but it doenst really matter. I have proven Supras do not need power to drift. just get a better LSD and you can go sideways all day long.

Hell yeah go drifting!
